Pincher Creek Health Centre - Pincher Creek, Alberta

SMX

Had to take a friend to the Emerge due to concerns for a serious medical condition. Everyone was extremely helpful, efficient and were got in and out with appropriate testing in a very timely manner. Would definitely return. Thanks to Dr De Plessis and RN Teresa for their great work.

While vacationing in the Pincher Creek area, my husband sustained an injury requiring stitches. I dropped him at the admitting area and parked the car. When I entered the hospital, I expected to find him waiting in line at the triage desk. This wasn't the case. He was already in the ER unit with an RN nurse being assessed. What a breath of fresh air compared to hospitals in the larger municipalities. The staff were efficient, friendly, and all around fantastic, including Dr. Taylor and the wonderful physician's assistant who stitched him up. The team worked well together, and we were on our way to our hotel within an hour and a half of entering the hospital. Had this injury happened at home, we likely would have waited several hours to receive any medical attention.

I recently had reason to visit the emergency department at PC Health Centre and I was extremely impressed with the speedy manner I was seen and the very friendly and efficient staff that attended me. Dr. Marx was thorough and professional and genuinely concerned. She dealt with my situation with great care and I was very satisfied with her treatment. The nurse (a young gentleman) was very pleasant and kind as well. Couldn't ask for better care and speed of service. Thanks Dr. Marx!

Absolute terrible service. The only person that was helpful was a security guard who is incredible. The nurses and staff were sitting there making jokes while people were in the waiting room waiting to be seen. The doctors were ignorant, and the lack of care from them was revolting. There didn't seem to be any rush to see their patients. I can only imagine why rural healthcare has a reputation that it does. Very disappointing. Would hate to have a serious emergency that was life-threatening at this location. I have never seen such lack of care from attending residence and nurses.

Had as good of an experience I could expect for going into the hospital.
The staff was all kind and wonderful. The wait time to see a nurse, then doctor was very short, and the care was top tier.

Very rude and uncaring nurses they always seem to be rushing to do things when there are literally 4 patients in the hospital and I see them all standing around laughing in a side office. I don’t want to bring race into this but you can see they treat not only us natives cold and heartless but they treat anybody that had different colour skin the same way or if your not a local from town. But SOME nurses are good and the doctors are okay but I still Do not recommend.

Unless you've experienced something else, you may not know how good you've got it; all a matter of perspective. Moved to the area just over two years ago from a large city centre and I promise, we are so fortunate to have Pincher Creek Health Centre!!

I am particularly impressed with the caring staff in the lab who have to battle to draw blood from me. Huge shout out to Allison, Judy, and Sharon (I hope - was feeling a little traumatized by the time she got involved) for their compassion and excellent care.

You're in "good hands" in Pincher Creek!

I just want to thank all the nurses, Dr. Parker, and Dr. Anderson for all their work leading up to, during, and after my surgery. They were incredibly friendly and made me feel at ease.
